Following these diet tips are a good first step on the way to creating your body's own fat burning furnace. Be sure to practise a healthy lifestyle and introduce consistency into your diet & fitness program to lose weight quickly and to make the fat loss permanent.
1. For a tasty low fat mayonnaise spread, try mixing one teaspoon of Dijon mustard or Satay sauce with a low fat yoghurt to taste.
2. Don't miss out on meals. Trying to cut calories by leaving out a meal actually works against you because your body's metabolism will slow down to compensate in order to conserve energy - your body does this when there is a limited intake of fuel. Eating little and often can increase your metabolism.
3. If you are looking for healthy low fat alternatives try this neat trick: use vegetables such as capsicum and zucchini and stuff them with flavoured fillings or minced up white meat, chicken, fish etc
4. The best time to work out is about 8 hours after waking up. This is because at this time of day, the body's metabolism starts to slow down. So, take 30 minutes of exercise before you have dinner to increase your metabolism and you will find that you burn fat for up to 3 hours after your work out is over. This is great when used as part of your weight loss diet plan.
5. Take time out to learn about nutrition, what foods are good for you and get creative with some healthy recipes. You can check out the free potent food guide link in the resource box below!
6. When you next cook your family's favourite meal, be sure to leave out as much salt, at and sugar as possible - look for healthy alternatives, such as using low fat yoghurt instead of cream, leaning out the oil when you stir fry and replace salt with other herbs and spices to taste.
7. Whatever you do, always consult your doctor before you start any weight loss program. It is important that you confirm that there is not a medical problem that is stopping you from losing weight.
8. Eat slower and make sure you chew longer and never rush a meal. The longer you take to eat, the faster your stomach can tell your brain that you are full... it takes time for this communication to take place! That way you will reduce your appetite over time.
9. Eat little and often - have healthy snacks - it is better to eat several times instead of only one or two meals a day.
10. You'd think toasted muesli would be healthy, right? Don't be fooled just because it says "muesli"! In actual fact, toasted muesli has more fat content than a plate of bacon and eggs. Buy non-toasted muesli instead!
11. Did you know that most of the good ingredients in fruit and vegetables is just under the skin? Don't peel - scrape; and if possible, don't remove the skins at all.
12. This little known trick is also good for the skin! Try a squeeze of lemon in a cup of warm water before you have breakfast - it really kick starts your metabolism in the morning. It also helps to prevent constipation and it's real good for your skin.
13. Tofu and soya are excellent alternative sources of protein. Many vegetables yield good amounts of protein such as in lima beans and lentils - add them to your soups and casseroles.
14. Try not to go it alone. It's great to have someone else to help keep you motivated to stay with your weight loss program. Join a club or buddy up with someone.
15. The metabolism slows down in the evening. Don't eat anything if it is less than 3 hours before you go to bed.
16. Stuck for time? Don't go for junk food - instead go for pasta or a quick salad. They only take a few minutes to prepare.
17. Did you know that most of the egg fat is in the yolk? So try making omelettes without the yolks and really reduce your fat intake.
18. Find alternatives to baking soda, baking powder and soya sauce in your cook book recipes. Check out other ways to add flavour - experiment.
19. You can remove fat from baking trays by dropping ice cubes into them - the fat sticks to the ice cube.
20. Even if you don't have lemon juice, drink hot water in the morning and not cold water - hot water first thing will help speed up your calorie consumption.
21. If you are going grocery shopping, always eat before you go! And make a list of the foods you are going to get and stick to it. That way you can prepare your diet and get the healthy foods to further promote your weight loss plan. And leave the tempting sweets in their wrappers on the shelf!
These are just some of the things you can do, with ease, to help you get into the habit of eating healthily and lose weight quickly.

Do you want proven fast weight loss tips that will get you that sexy body you've been wanting... and deserve?! Alright my friend, take a couple of minutes out of your day and read on to discover 4 amazing tips to lose weight fast... and permanently:
1. Build Lean Muscle - Ladies, please understand that you DO NOT have to get massive muscles. All you need to do is ensure that with your exercise program that you are also building muscle tissue along with doing cardio for fat loss. Muscle is very important to build since it will give you that toned look and muscle burns fat off during the workout and after the workout! The best exercises I recommend are squats, lunges, dead lifts, military presses, and bench presses.
2. Increase Protein Intake - Getting plenty of ALL types of nutrients is highly recommended, however, if you increase the amount of protein you get, you'll find yourself with that sexy beach body before you know it! Once I started getting more protein, I noticed a difference in the first week! I recommend Greek organic yogurt, lean chicken/turkey breast, beans, egg whites, and whey protein shakes for great protein sources.
3. Proper Nutrition - Please, whatever you do, avoid those crazy fad diets (low fat, low calorie, low carb, starving yourself, etc.) by any means necessary! Those unnatural programs will cause you a mountain of problems too long to list! I do however recommend that you get on a program that encourages you to eat ALL types of nutrients and to eat more frequently through out the day.
4. Boost Metabolism - If you want to guarantee that you'll get that sexy lean body unbelievably fast, then you MUST ensure that you naturally boost your metabolism. Natural ways to boost your metabolism are adding spices to your meals (chili powder, paprika, cinnamon, cayenne pepper for example), getting 3 servings of organic apple cider vinegar daily, drinking green tea daily, and calorie shifting.
